Kipling launches durable back-to-school collection for 2026
Kipling has created a back-to-school collection focused on durability and style.
This season, Kipling redefines back-to-school with a collection designed to go further. In a world where value matters more than ever, Kipling's SS26 range focuses on durability, functionality and style that lasts beyond one school year, designed to be used, loved and carried for years.
From backpacks to wheeled bags, pencil cases to lunch bags, every Kipling style is designed to help kids move effortlessly through busy school days and after-school activities.
At the heart of the collection is the iconic Seoul backpack—a long-time favourite and best-selling school bag. Seoul stands out for its durable crinkled nylon, lightweight water-repellent material, padded straps and thoughtful sizing.
With a wide assortment of matching sets, Kipling makes back-to-school shopping simple. Coordinated sets allow parents to create complete, cohesive looks in just a few steps—bringing ease to busy routines while letting kids show off their style.
Today's students want products that reflect who they are. Kipling answers this with a strong focus on self-expression and personalisation. Each bag features the iconic furry monkey keychain alongside a range of additional charms and limited-edition monkey keychains to customise the look.
Behind every school morning is a busy mum juggling schedules, responsibilities and the everyday chaos of family life. For autumn 26, Kipling introduces a functional, versatile and lightweight collection designed to bring ease to even the busiest routines.
From backpacks and totes for working mums to a selection for mums-to-be, each style is created with real life in mind. Baby bags feature dedicated compartments for bottles and pacifiers, a practical changing mat, and multiple organisational pockets—ideal for days at home or on the move.
Kipling's Back-to-School 2026 Collection is available online at Kipling.com and select retailers.
